Title:
  uhm.. i think there is something wrong with my grub thus installation
  cancelled

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I wanted to try mx linux on this machine but when the installer tried
  to configure grub it canceled. /boot/grub/grub.cfg is missing. I tried
  fixing it by mounting my installed mx linux root folder to /mnt and
  binding sys proc and dev but i didnt manage. Boot repair also fails.
  Feels bad.. back to windows i guess
